mans with dining car. etc., at the B. &
O. station in Butler, last Friday after
noon The cars were occupied by the

came into Butler over the B. R. &P.

to change to the Erie at Shenango, and

sion of B & O. Railroad, while runing

engers rushed to the platforms or poked
their heads out of the windows to see
what was the matter. Their curiosity
was satisfied when they saw the Engin
eer reach into a water barrel at the end
of the bridge aud rescue a drowning
lamb. The lamb ihad fallen into the
barrel, and its mother was making
frantic efforts to lift it out with her
teeth. The humane en gineer was
heartily applauded, as he deserved to
be, for a prettier act of tenderness has
never been recorded.
—The government announces that in a
short time there will be a civil service
examination for an agrostologist at six
ty dollars a month. An appeal to the
dictionary discloses the fact that an
agrostologist is one versed in in agrost
ology, and that the latter is the science
pertaining to grasses. The Agricult nr
al Department, whifh needs the services
of this scientist, wants one who is emi
nently versed in botany and particular
ly in grasses, both theoretically and
practically. Just what his seryices are
to be is not explained, but apparently
he is to give the public knowledge on a
very important subject, and it would
seem as if it ought not to expect too
much for the compensation offered.
In the far West at present agrostolo
gists whose knowledge is confined to
the proper use of the scythe or the
mowing ma hine are getting throe dol
lars a day, so the government cannot
be accused of paying too much.
Call upon your Merchant or Druggist
for Victor Remedies. They are the
Old Reliable Family Medicines and
well worth your money.

Dear Sir: Milk, so much a quart
part water Is it milk'; How much
satisfaction will it giveV How much
nourishment'.' How many customers
will it win')
Mixed paint is the same as watered
milk. It seems to be cheap, but it
isn't. Devoe lead and zink is rich milk,
it's cresmy milk; seems to lie costly, but
isn't. Covers more square feet to the
gallon; covers it better; makes labor go
further; lasts more years than than any
mixed paint; lasts more years than lead
and oil.
The cheapest paint in the world m ade
by the oldest concern in America —l4O
yaarp old.
Mr. J. J. Hall. Sheffield- Pa. writes:
I had always used 40 gallons of lead
and oil for my house: this summer I

J, C. McNees was appointed register
ing assessor of Ist precinct. Third Ward
vice Chas. Roessing resigned.
By another vote of five to four the
United Btates Supreme Court lias nsiain
decided that theConstitutiou and the flag
are not necessarily co-temporaneous
travelers. The case just determined
was an appeal from a conviction for
murder obtained in Hawaii after the
annexation of the Republic and before
the erection of the Territory, when by
the resolution of annexation all Hawai
ian laws "not contrary to the Constitu
tion of the United States'' were con
tinued in force. The contention was
that the accused was convicted under
the insular code, in violation of the con
stitutional requirements, being tried
without indictment by tlio grand jury
and convicted by a majority instead of
a unanimous vote of the petit jury.
"Gentlemen" said a judge addressing
the jury in a recent Irish case reported
in Law Notes, "you have heard the evi
dence. The indictment says the prison
er was arrested for stealing a pig. The
offense seems to be a common one The
time has come when it must be put a
stop to; otherwise, gentlemen, none of
you will be safe."
The refusal of a lower court to grant a
charter for the incorporation of a Chris
tian Science Church and the confirm
ation by the Supreme Court of that re
fusal will call attention to the frequent
ly forgotten circumstance that the grant
of a charter is of grace and not of right.
In the theory and to a considerable
extent in the practice of the law a cor
poration is not creoted for the benefit of
the incorporators. It is created for the
sake of the community in the midst of
which its Influence is to be exerted and
its activites applied.
The advantage which the incorporat
ors themselves may derive from the co
operation which they propose is a mere
ly sudordinate and incidental feature of
the situation. It is a negligible quanti
ty of which the law takes no account.
Is the purpose which this corpc ration
is designed to serve one whose achieve
ment is likely to be helpful to the peo
pie? That is the great question, that is
the only question which the courts in
this connection have to consider and de
termine.
